About this course

Harbor Links, carved into the bluffs of Port Washington, is a rare public testament to Golden Age sensibilities resurrected in the late 20th century. Dick Wilson's original design, lost to time, was reimagined by the Cornish, Silva, and Mungeam team, evoking a windswept, almost links-like character with its fescue-lined fairways and strategic bunkering. The course plays longer than its yardage suggests, with undulating greens that reward thoughtful approach shots and punish indecision, although its open nature is forgiving for the higher handicaps. Harbor Links has been a consistent site for Metropolitan Golf Association events, showcasing the region’s top amateur talent. While it may not possess the storied history of its nearby private neighbors, it serves as a vital, accessible hub for competitive golf in the New York metropolitan area. Beyond the course, Harbor Links is known locally for its diverse membership and accessible family atmosphere. The club, in keeping with its public status, provides the community with a gathering space that extends beyond the golf course itself. The restaurant on site is known locally for its delicious burgers and cold tap beer to pair with a round of

Getting there

The journey to Harbor Links Golf Club begins at one of the New York metro area's three major gateways - LaGuardia Airport lies just twenty minutes west, while JFK and Newark offer slightly longer approaches for those connecting from afar. Private arrivals often favor Westchester County Airport or the marine-side ease of Republic Airport on Long Island. The drive north along the Long Island Sound traces a quiet transition from the urban hum of Queens into the leafy residential enclave of Port Washington, where Harbor Links emerges on a rare stretch of waterfront parkland, its links-style fairways framed by sailboats and the distant Manhattan skyline - a singular fusion of Scottish golf and New York harbor heritage.
